Last time I checked it was moved from Vol. 1 to side stories, now it has been deleted? It has been around for a long time, so most readers know 16.5 by now.

Just finished Caliber SS, now I'm with the 'Klein-san's so cool!' faction, he saved two worlds, Alfheim and Midgard

And he did it totally by accident, following his own Bushido code.

I'm in the "Klein-san's so cool faction now."

Anyway, anybody who wants 16.5 - who hadn't actually read it before - can PM me for details and I'll send it to y'all.

What amused me the most is Kirito blaming his lack of know-how on focusing all his sexual energy into the SAO beta test. That said, I can totally understand his position - there's a group of friends I play ME3 with, and the consensus is we'd rather farm credits on Firebase White than indulge in other activities.

Oh right.. kinda forgot what's the content of chapter 16 since I always read it as one with chapter 16.5, but still.. it's not like it was told explicitly that they did that in chapter 16.. just saying that there's still some chance for the other girls. Altho if this is the last arc then it would be really weird if Asuna position as the main heroine suddenly got shifted to another heroine *shrug*

It's not actually a sacrifice for volume 10 since I was planning to finish that up and be done and over with it, and I only said that partly in jest. But when I have Kyubey as my avatar, it has far-reaching consequences...

You better start praying that I finish Baka Test 9.5 and Unicorn 3 fast though unless you can get another translator to help It's 339 pages long as far as I know, shorter than v9 by around 70 pages.

QB does that, we take the utterings of that darn alien pretty seriously.

I'm praying. Heck I'm willing to donate money if it would make things go faster LOL.

Have you read up to Vol. 9? Cause there are like 100 things which already make it pretty clear there is no chance in hell.

Spoiler:

Vol.3 Chapter 1
"It does not matter how many times she is trapped or imprisoned or how many times I have to do this."

Vol.4 Chapter 7
What kind of eyes were those, she thought. They were the eyes of a traveler that sought his eternally fated partner... No matter how long it took, in this life or the next, no matter how many times he was reincarnated. Eyes filled with such a gentle, calm light, containing within them a crazed feeling of love. Even their color seemed different than usual.

At that moment, Suguha knew what her heart truly wanted, and at the same time, she understood that she would never be able to reach it.

I wonder how the JSDF are going to ensure that their A.Is don't turn upon them. Failing to recognize A.I rights is a surefire way to create trouble down the line. Plus, who are they going to send those A.Is up against? Somali Pirates? Terrorist Groups? Surely not the Koreans or Chinese, nor the Russians, war in East Asia would likely end up in local mushroom clouds that'd knock 10 years off the regions' development at least, and likely would lead to the toppling of most of the region's governments. A.I or no A.I.

In my view, Kirito is right. A.I rights need to be established as early as possible, else humanity is going to be in a world of hurt down the line. The biggest thread to the SAO world are A.Is who end up hating humanity.

1. If movies taught us anything, it's that attempts to control A.I. never ends well

2. It's about achieving conventional military parity and away from reliance on the US for its defensive needs. Also, I think you overestimate the chance of a nuclear war, most nuclear capable country has little reason to actually use their nuclear arsenal, as it does little other than guaranteeing their own destruction.
